Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I'm not really for or against this, but I see it as the mate of the orca. This ship plus an orca is approximately a rorqual.

Hi Katsum,

Yes the idea is to see the ship refining ore to minerals, instead of compress it.

It could be complementary to the POS refinery:
let assume that we have this ship refining at 100% thank's to skills and bpo... what will be the role of the POs refinery after?
simple solution: a POS refinery work alone, no need of training skills, ne need of special fuel to activate the process

The rorqual stay as he is, you compress and move quickly the compressed stuffs to stations.
But where you have no stations at all, specially in WH space, what to do?

Compress in WH, find the way out, move the compressed stuffs to empire stations, and go back with minerals?

It is not better, more effective and productive, to do this directly in the WH to allow you to build what you need?

I think it is more a question of productivity and efficiency.

refining yield of 35% is a joke, 75% is bad.

It would be for different people, not the ones who use the orca/rorqual, but for the ones who want to refine at POS in WH, but are discouraged when they see the refining yield in return.
And again especially in WH space, where you take a lot of risks in mining, and after in moving the goods!!!

I see more the pos refining array as an obsolete structure, a remaining of the beginning of EVE.
now you have outposts, rorquals and jump freighters to move quickly and efficiently huge quantities of minerals/ore into standard space.

Yes someone could say: just put 100% to pos refining yield and that's it.

hum ok why not, but a new ships give to CCP the possibility to introduce the ship ;), new skill for it, maybe skills for refining, or use the refining ones, and increase the demand on one another product (fuel for refining), and coule be PI product, moon product, ICE product, whatever they could think they have to boost the use, new BPO to buy/LP, to research and so

sorry for my bad english,

edit: bad english ;)

I actually find this idea attractive.

However, i see it being a way to avoid upgrading stations in 0.0 since we all know that is ******** expensive.

But in the same light it would give growing corps a way to have max efficiency per unit of time.
Mining in game already sucks balls, we too all know this. Implementation of a ship that actually makes that sucky time worth it seems to be a way of bringing more into mining, instead of a 5% reduction or a 25% reduction or the ******** thought that a 65% reduction(pos refineries) in mineral output was a good idea.

Mining sucks, no one wants to do it, the mining barges are too damn flimsy, the yield is too terrible to keep up with the growing demand oh ships in the game, and mind numbing sound puts you to sleep.

Is CCP replying or make comments on our ideas?
Did someone from CCP reading here? Or how it works to submit this to them?

Druuna.

What is the role? Same as the old rorq..only it's less expensive, less expensive, and less expensive.

With the nerf requiring the rorq to be on grid to give it's great booster miners in deep space have had to resort to the less effective orca for boosting - the rorq is just too slow and expensive to risk in belts or on trips to remote systems for mining.

Lest you mistakenly believe I am for this idea let me clear the air now.. we don't need a mini rorq.. We need to unnerf the original rorq to allow it to boost from a POS and off grid as before.

Hope you wrong
